    Jeff Buckley! I love him, and my guess is he’s one of your influences as far as music goes. Gotta love his vibrato… and yours too, of course. Nice. This is great.

    I am wondering whose guitar that is. I didn’t think you had more than two acoustics.

    found you from Daley Hake’s site. And that song has ruined me for the rest of the night. Wow.

  7. Lindsey

    you have no idea how excited this made me.

    this is one of my favorite songs in the entire world. you made my night, phil!

    Hey phil!
    That was really beautiful, and as an up and coming christian artist I would love to collaborate with you. I’ve always seen our musical views to be similar, and I really feel that we could make something magical.

    let me know.

    I think if spending a day with you would make anyone a %50 better person.

    I pray I could have the same passion for God and music as you do

  10. Emily

    You are amazing Phil! I love what you do.
    I’ll see you at creation fest NW in July.

  11. Nathan Gaddis

    Dang. That was just good. You should lay that down on your next record, for sure!
    Very nice.

  12. Mocha

    Hey Phil,

    Thanks for sharing that cut man, it really blessed me today. One of those magical “God’s timing” things… Simply awesome!

    Stay real,

    Mocha

  13. Dana (Atlanta)

    I’m not sure if that’s you, but whoever it is should come sing for me everyday…that would be amazing.

  14. Rachel W

    Splendid, Phil. Grace is one of my all time favorite albums (next to Mighty Joe Moon by Grant Lee Buffalo).I would love to hear you sing Last Goodbye or Lilac Wine. Maybe next month when you are bored?

  15. Rachel

    Get it, man!

  16. Alymc

    Love love love that song. That is one of the most rad covers I’ve ever seen.

  17. Morgan

    I love every version of this song I’ve ever heard, but I really like the bare bones of just you and the guitar. Plus there are some interesting vocal changes. Thanks!

  18. Brody's mom

    Phil Wickham… that was amazing. We have listened to this about 8 times. I gave it as a gift to my friend and boss. this is her favorite song. Brody’s nephew, Zion, wants to know when Phil Whitum is coming to our church.
    thank you so much…Thank you.

  19. Holly

    We seem to benefit from your boredom– and I personally love it!

  20. Meghan

    HEY! YES! thanks I love this song and your version YAY!!u just cheered up my day

  21. Chrissy-Bobbie

    that was awesome!!! XD
    you should get bored more often. ;]

  22. benifer steinifer

    Very, very nice cover, Phil. Leonard Cohen always has something a little racy in his lyrics just to remind people how serious he is. he he. But he’s brilliant. You may want to check out the Bob Dylan song, ‘Ring them bells’. Very nice song. And trust you’re keeping up with your shooting skills…

  23. Sara

    I’ve never heard this song before… I liked it :)! You have an amazing voice Phil.

  24. JudiFree

    I love this song anyway and now I love it even more.

  25. Nolan

    i wonder if leonard cohen knew when he wrote that song how much of an effect it would have on all peoples alike.

    well done - if i had that man’s number, i’d let him know he should hear this version!

  26. Hallelujah « Man of Depravity

    [...] (HT: Brody Harper and Phil Wickham) [...]

  27. Erica Santiago

  30. Brittany Rose

  31. keely

    Aww I love the smile you give at the end! OOO I wonder if you can do that guitar slap from August Rush. Wouldn’t that be cool?
    <3 Keely

  32. Suzanne

    Hey.. what are the chords you used in this? I’m going on a mission trip this summer and all the music we’ll have is voice and two acoustic guitars, one being mine, and I’d love to know how to play this!

  33. Rebecca

    Woo HOO. I LOVE that song!!! Good cover bud!

  34. Maria

    Bored… I ask the Lord to make me consciously aware of Him in every moment. I never heard that song before. I guess because I’m always listening to your music. Your voice & that song=good combination.thanks
